Medication & Sharps Disposal

Medication Disposal
Do you have old
medications that have expired or are no longer being used? Flushing them
down the toilet or putting them in your refuse cart is not the answer.
Studies have shown that these medications harm the environment-our
water, lakes and the animals in them.

A permanent MedDrop is
now available in the lobby of the Police Department, 300 East Main
Street. The lobby is open 24/7. After hours, enter from Main Street.

Items Accepted
What you can dispose of in the MedDrop box:

Medication Samples

Nebulizer Solution

Over-the-counter medicine (pills, liquids, creams)

Pet meds

Prescription medicine (pills, liquids, creams)

Vitamins

How to Use MedDrop Box
To dispose of medicine in the MedDrop box:

Empty contents of pill bottles into a Ziploc bag and recycle your pill bottles at home.

Please leave liquids, gels, or creams in their original containers and place them in a Ziploc bag.

Bring the Ziploc bags to City Hall and place them in the drop box.

Medical Sharps Disposal
To reduce public health risks, Wisconsin requires all citizens to
manage medical sharps safely. It is illegal to put sharps in the refuse
or recycle cart. Below is a list of registered medical sharps collection
sites in Sun Prairie:
